Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups mashed sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed smooth
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix mashed sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and milk until smooth and fully combined.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chopped pecans evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
  • Toast the pecans beforehand for deeper flavor.
  • Let the loaf cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
